00:00There's no place like Lake Superior as far as the pristine water, the topography of the
00:15shoreline.
00:16I mean, it's just a beautiful, beautiful place and incredibly precious.
00:20And you know, there's something about Lake Superior that can connect with everybody,
00:23whether they like to swim in the lake or fish in the lake or kayak in the lake.
00:27I think it's really important for everyone who comes to this lake to really understand
00:32how precious it is, how unique it is.
00:34It carries 10 percent of the world's fresh water, and water is becoming the most precious
00:39resource there is.
00:41And Lake Superior is under threat.
00:43It is changing.
00:44It's changing fast.
00:48We're just citizen scientists out there noticing what's happening.
00:52We've been measuring the temperature of Lake Superior for many years, and we have noticed
00:57a very distinct warming of the waters.
01:01And that matches what the Large Lakes Observatory says, which is that ultimately Lake Superior
01:07is one of the fastest-warming big lakes in the world.
